SummaryBF3 is a great game and a great addition to the BF franchise. It's beautiful and has all the action you'd expect from a BF game.

The downside comes with the amount of hackers in multiplayer. There are ALOT of them and Punkbuster does not detect the hacks being used. Both DICE and EA don't seem to be able to combat the hacking and do not acknowledge the scope of the issue on forums.

Cons- No commander mode- In close quarters infantry combat, it feels a bit like COD sometimes, too many nades flying around, especially on 64 player matches.- Don't like using the browser to enter servers.

SummaryBF3 is a great game, anyone should try if they're into FPS's. It's very intense and fun with tank battles, jets dogfighting, hellfire helicopters etc. I docked a star though simply because of the cons mentioned above. I loved commander mode, you could communicate with squad leaders, tell them what to do, send uav, supplies and artillery.

SummaryAmazing game, gets you very immersed with how realistic it is/looks. Can spend hours on end playing this one. The battlelog takes a bit of getting used too (Browser based), but after awhile it grows on you. Have recommended this to multiple friends.

SummaryOverall an excellent game. I love playing 64 player online and the multi player environment is great. The single player mode is kind of lacking, but that is not really what this game is about. Graphics are excellent, so make sure your video card is up to the task if you want them turned up. Origin still has some work to do with their launcher, but its still functional and only a beta at this point (as far as I know). Recommended buy.
